I'm Tim Sobers. This is my year of camping.

Having trouble sleeping in the RV? Whether you are used to long distance travel and camping or you've been doing it all your life, at one point or another, you may find yourself looking for tips on how to get the rest you need in order to enjoy the fun of RV travel and camping. After all, going camping and taking in the brilliant scenery to be found while you're on the road is supposed to be fun, and whether you're talking RV travel or water skiing on the nearby lake, fun can only be enjoyed to the fullest when you are well rested and alert.

Fun is the reason most people refer to the many tips that are offered on today's RV travel and camping websites. Meanwhile, tips that help people sleep through the night or at least enjoy a more productive sleep are just as prevalent, and one of them is the pillow. Pillows come in all different shapes and sizes, but no matter which variety an RV travel and camping enthusiast prefers, sometimes a personal pillow is all it takes.

As you may have guessed, the first tip is to try bringing the pillow you sleep on at home. Studies prove that people sleep better and more soundly when they are in their own bed. While you can't bring your bed along on your RV travel and camping adventures, you can certainly bring your pillow. Of course, if you've already tried the home pillow tip, feel free to read on.

If the only time you have trouble sleeping is when you're in the midst of an RV travel and camping adventure and you've tried the pillow trick, your favorite blanket, and such things as temperature adjustments, the next tip is to considering reading a good book. While you may find the book "un-put-down-able," as they say, eventually reading almost always induces relaxation and sleep.

For the final RV travel and camping tip, try switching to another bed. Sometimes, all a person needs is a simple adjustment, and while the location may not seem to be a problem it's certainly worth a try if it means you might just get some rest!
